The standalone Homeway add-on requires a long-lived Home Assistant access token to communicate with Home Assistant. Add-on authentication is required for Homeway features like Google Assistant and Alexa Assistants.
Here's how to update your long-lived authentication token:
If you use the CLI standalone Homeway add-on:
SSH into the device running the Homeway add-on.
Go to the Homeway plugin folder:
cd ~/homeway
Run the install script:
./install
The installer will find your add-on and guide you through the process of setting up the long-lived access token.
Done 🥳
If you use the docker standalone Homeway add-on:
Create a new long-lived access token in Home Assistant:
Go to your Home Assistant dashboard.
Click your user name and image in the bottom right corner to open the account UI.
Select the "Security" tab at the top of the webpage.
Scroll to the bottom to the header "Long-lived access tokens"
Click "Create Token"
Give the token any name you want.
Copy the access-token.
Update the docker compose file:
Open your docker-compose file and paste the new access token into the
HOME_ASSISTANT_ACCESS_TOKENfield.Restart the docker container.
docker compose restart
